BUT TO GET SHOT WHILE BABYSITTING A POPPY FIELD?

WHAT ARE THEY DYING FOR..TO PROTECT THE DRUG TRADE OF A FOREIGN PEOPLE?

IF YOU GET SHOT PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY OR YOUR HOMELAND..THAT'S HONORABLE..

TO GET SHOT WHILE PROMOTING ENDLESS WAR AND GETTING ENTANGLED IN THE POLITICS OF THE TALIBAN AND THE OPIUM TRADE?!?!

why? how does that make America safer?

If you are a soldier, you might get shot. As simple as that. If you don't like to get shot, do not become a soldier.
Its really as simple as that.

hope and change you can believe in.

This is NOT the drug trade of a foreign people. Where do you think these drugs end up? How do you think they get there? These people are farmers. They grow the crops they are paid to grow. Of course the US Govt is going to protect its interests.

How do you think the Us sponsors wars and governments in 3rd world countries?

with heroin, coke,...

It is the easiest way to get huge amounts of untraceable money!

And you can safely say that cia isn't going to let it go to anyone else but them.


When talibans were in control Afghanistan provided 5-10% of worlds heroin and now... 90%

the only reason the us doesn't like talibans is because they started burning the poppy fields in the 90s. no other reason.

Says the pothead.

Says the pothead.

no, says logic and truth... i mean are you a retard?

How can you defen the fact that prior to us invasion, poppy fields practically didn't exist in afghanistan. and now, when US spends (app) 2 billion dollars each year to "fight" the heroin producers they are booming like never before.

logic is sound, people are retarded.

And yes, with pot also.... but pot is another story... they criminalized it because the plant is too versatile, too many uses and does not need any funghicides or pesticides to grow.

In essence the plant has the ability to free the people, making them much more self sustainable.

But of course they also like the huge amounts of untraceable money that come from it, while it is illegal.

I'm not defending.


You are a pothead though, so you are also a hypocrite.
